Horse Conformation & Athletic Movement [CD-ROM]

Deborah K. White (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2001

This CD-ROM covers conformation on both the basic and advanced levels, teaching it in such a way that one doesn't need a book in hand in order to evaluate horses.

It goes beyond descriptive conformation to cover basic anatomy and explain how conformation affects movement and allows horses to move athletically. Pictures, movie clips, and animation are used to help clarify the subject.

Learn about:
*Conformation basics, from head to tail.
*Conformation ideals for specific sports, including draft work, racing, harness, and riding sports.
*How conformation affects the horse's movement style.
*The internal anatomy that creates the visible conformation we evaluate.
*How horses move athletically using the Ring of Muscles and more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Update on system requirements, December 17, 2008

This review is from: Horse Conformation & Athletic Movement (CD-ROM)

This is a good CD-ROM for learning about horse conformation. It's been used by horse judging teams and pony clubs. The main reason I'm posting a review is to inform people that the system requirements have changed. The CD works on all versions of Windows (including Vista), but no longer works on Macs (specifically, it doesn't work on MacOS 10 and probably won't work on anything after that).
